Notes

Using Pearl onion is must in grinding and to cook the dhal..

Tomato is a optional mostly in wedding feast tomatoes will not visible as they do in large quantity..

Consistency of the curry depends on your taste.. usually in the feast they serve this in both the forms like watery and in thick…I prefer to be thick curry to home to finish the bowl easily..

instead of deep fried papadas, can roast it in the flame directly and use, to reduce the oil..
